Your just asking to oval or crack a stock sleeve unless the stock sleeves were pinned. I have a good builder and topspeed is no slouch in tuning. For me personally I just wouldn't push my luck and that's what I've heard from several other builders and tuners. I want my expensive build to last and it's not worth pushing the stock sleeves for a few extra psi. You were talking about running 28-30 psi that is just a lot for a stock sleeve if your looking for reliability. Not saying your builder or tuner isn't good or that your motor can't handle it but the question is for how long can it handle it.

No worries or concerns when you find the right engine builder and tuner!

Agreed.^^^^^^

If your looking for a 100k built motor yeah stock sleeve might not be the way to go lol but stock sleeves have been proven with good tuning to live well beyond 30 psi. All in the tuning and care you put into the setup. Mines seen 26-31 psi for maybe 15 miles. No issues.

Yes topspeed is more than no slouch! Doug is probably the best out there . Always kills my self tunes when I hit the dyno!

I understand your concerns about cracking and/or oval a sleeve but I take every precaution to keep that from happening...

I daily drive my sti and drive around town on 21psi which is babying the block, then I can use my SI-Drive button to switch from Sport(21psi) to Sport Sharp(28psi) when I go to the track or highway race, so the amount of time I am actually @ 28 is very minimal...

There is plenty of people running more boost without issues....

I am running 28psi everyday and I am going to turn it up when it gets cold. I will let you know how long it last.

No Heater hose is not petroleum resistant and will fall apart in that usage scenario. Needs to be "fuel vapor hose" at a minimum as that is petroleum resistant. I'd personally just grab some Aeroquip Pushlok in -12 and you'll be G2G.

Ill look into it...
It just got it in the mail yesterday and that is just everything that element sent me but if a change in hoses in necessary we will take care of it accordingly
